BACK IN JANUARY, THE NEW YORK TIMES AGREED WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDED TO IMPROVE ITS FORESTRY MANAGEMENT
Editorial by Kevin Ryan
The deadliest and most destructive fire in California's history was finally brought under control by firefighters yesterday, more than two weeks after it erupted. So far 87 people are confirmed to have been killed in the blaze, and many are still missing.
But the media firestorm continues over President Trump’s assertion that poor forest management contributed to the disaster. After Trump tweeted that better forest management could have prevented, or at least mitigated, the damage caused by the devastating wildfires, the media and California politicians said his assertion was false.
A spokesman for California Governor Jerry Brown said that the president's assertion was “inane” and “uninformed.” The New York Times wrote a piece entitled “Trump’s Misleading Claims About California’s Fire ‘Mismanagement’”
Yet just a few months back, both Governor Brown and The New York Times said basically the same thing as Trump.
In a January article, the Times wrote that “A group of scientists warned in the journal BioScience that [100 million] dead trees could produce wildfires on a scale and of an intensity that California has never seen,” and that “scientists say they cannot even calculate the damage the dead-tree fires might cause; it exceeds what their current fire behavior modeling can simulate.”
“‘It’s something that is going to be much more severe,’ said Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science at Berkeley and the lead author of the study. ‘You could have higher amounts of embers coming into home areas, starting more fires.’”
The Times article even pointed the finger at California’s forestry regulations, saying “California forests are much more vulnerable now because, paradoxically, they have been better protected. In their natural state, forests were regularly thinned by fire but the billions of dollars that the state spends aggressively fighting wildfires and restrictions on logging have allowed forests to accumulate an overload of vegetation… That’s a scenario that could nudge the state into rethinking its forest management.“
And yet, fast forward to today, and The New York Times is suddenly interviewing “experts” to contradict its previous assertions now that President Trump has also questioned California’s forest management.
“President Trump’s statements, which drew outrage from local leaders and firefighters, oversimplified the cause of California’s wildfires.” The Times says that the logging advocated by Trump, Republicans, and, apparently, The New York Times last January, would not have helped because “logging gets rid of trees, but it does not get rid of the kindling — brush, bushes and twigs. Logging does, however, enable the spread of cheatgrass, a highly combustible weed, which makes a forest more likely to burn.”
That’s basically the opposite of what the Times’ said earlier this year.
And it’s not just the media reversing itself to discredit Trump. Governor Brown’s office was calling for the same changes to logging regulations just a few months ago. In order to mitigate the fire danger from dead trees, Brown proposed that landowners be permitted to cut trees up to 36 inches in diameter, a jump from the current 26 inches, on properties that are 300 acres or less without getting a timber harvest permit and would also be able to build roads up to 600 feet long.
Of course the environmental lobby opposed it. And now huge swaths of land that environmentalists were “protecting” are now embers.
But Brown, and the media, would rather reverse their recent calls for safer forestry management than to agree with the president.

That’s basically the opposite of what the Times’ said earlier this year.
And it’s not just the media reversing itself to discredit Trump. Governor Brown’s office was calling for the same changes to logging regulations just a few months ago. In order to mitigate the fire danger from dead trees, Brown proposed that landowners be permitted to cut trees up to 36 inches in diameter, a jump from the current 26 inches, on properties that are 300 acres or less without getting a timber harvest permit and would also be able to build roads up to 600 feet long.
Of course the environmental lobby opposed it. And now huge swaths of land that environmentalists were “protecting” are now embers.
But Brown, and the media, would rather reverse their recent calls for safer forestry management than to agree with the president.

ASYLUM BAN BLOCKED
Nov 20 | A federal judge temporarily blocks
the Trump administration from denying
asylum to migrants who have crossed the
southern border illegally
On Monday, Jon S. Tigar of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco issued a temporary nationwide order barring enforcement of President Trump’s asylum ban, which was instituted as an attempt to stop the flow of thousands of asylum-seeking families entering the US from Mexico. ___ The court’s ruling states: _ “The Immigration and Naturalization Act (‘INA’) ‘deals with one of the oldest and most important themes in our Nation’s history: welcoming homeless refugees to our shores,’ and it ‘give[s] statutory meaning to our national commitment to human rights and humanitarian concerns.’ As part of that commitment, Congress has clearly commanded in the INA that any alien who arrives in the United States, irrespective of that alien’s status, may apply for asylum - ‘whether or not a designated port of arrival.’” ___ Photo: AP

President Donald Trump announced his support for a prison reform bill called the FIRST STEP Act, which is short for Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act. The bipartisan bill would include reducing the “three strikes” penalty and lowering mandatory minimum sentencing for drug-related felonies. The bill was developed by a bipartisan group of senators in summer 2018 and focuses on rehabilitating prisoners. This comes after former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who opposed most sentencing reform, was fired last week. ___ "Today, I am thrilled to announce my support for this bipartisan bill that will make our communities safer and give former inmates a second chance at life after they have served their time,” said President Trump on Wednesday. ___ Photo: AP

CNN LAWSUIT
Nov 13 | CNN has filed a lawsuit against the
White House after Jim Acosta's security
clearance was suspended.
CNN has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and several White House aides after chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s hard pass, a White House security clearance, was suspended. Acosta and Trump clashed during a press conference last week. ___ When Acosta attempted to enter the White House last Wednesday, he was denied access. The lawsuit alleges that the suspension violates his first and fifth amendment rights and calls for an immediate reinstatement of Acosta’s press credentials. ___ “He physically refused to surrender a White House microphone to an intern, so that other reporters might ask their questions. This was not the first time this reporter has inappropriately refused to yield to other reporters,” said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. ___ “While the suit is specific to CNN and Acosta, this could have happened to anyone. If left unchallenged, the actions of the White House would create a dangerous chilling effect for any journalist who covers our elected officials,” said CNN.
